View of sculptor John Palo-Kangas placing a mold on his plaster statue known as the "Spirit of the C. C. C." (Civilian Conservation Corps) at the Civilian Conservation Camp No. 1917 in Griffith Park [now the Travel Town train museum]. The mold was used to create a concrete version of the statue. The statue was a Los Angeles County Relief Administration art project. Palo-Kangas told a reporter that the work would be called "Conservation of Man and Nature." The statue was replaced by a bronze version in 1993.
